The Twilight Zone - Season 3, Episode 11: Still Valley

Trailer

This episode was adapted by Rod Serling from 'The Valley Was Still,' a short story by Manley Wade Wellman. In the third year of the Civil War, Confederate officer Paradine (Gary Merrill) and his men march into a small town, where a regiment of Union Soldiers has been literally frozen in time. The only 'moving figure' in the town is a deranged old man (Vaughn Taylor), who directs Paradine's attention to a book of black magic spells. Though he now possesses the means to win the war for the South, Paradine learns to his dismay that there's a diabolical 'price tag' attached. First telecast November 24, 1961, 'Still Valley' was the only half-hour Twilight Zone episode to be rebroadcast in the summer of 1963, by which time the series had expanded to an hour.
